The supply chain should manage materials and products, information, financials, and demand. This encompasses all aspects of the supply chain from sourcing materials to delivering finished products to customers, and involves managing the movement of goods, information, and funds throughout the supply chain.

Additionally, while there may be some similarities between domestic and international supply chain management, there are also many differences that must be considered.
